Hi I am creating a program in which I have 2 tabs. I want to make my tabs bigger in size so they can take whole panel space. Is there any way I can make both tabs size bigger. thanks

Since you are using a null layout manager you can setBounds to make things whatever size you want. What happens when you run your program on a Mac with a "retina" display is another question...

thanks i already use tabbed.setBounds(0, 20, 80, 40); but nothing change

[JamesCherrill]

If you want to fill a 300x400 window you will need much bigger sizes than 80x40

[ali11]

I give that number just an example I try bigger too but the result is same.

By messing around with null layout and setBounds you are really wasting your time. Pixel positioning/sizing of components is useless in a world where screen resolutions go from 72dpi to over 400dpi.
Yes, there's a learning curve for layout managers, but there's no way to avoid them. Start here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/using.html
